Question

III Probability of an event A box is filled with 2 blue cards, 3 red cards, and 7 yellow cards. A card is chosen at random from the box. What is the probability that it is a blue or a yellow card? in simplest form.

Answer 1

The total number of cards is:

2 + 3 + 7 = 12 cards

We want probability of blue OR yellow card. Remember, "OR" means "+" and "AND" means "x".

Blue cards = 2

Yellow cards = 7

Thus,

Total blue OR yellow = 2 + 7 = 9

So, we can say that the probability that a card is blue or yellow is:

9/12

Or,

3/4

The correct answer is:

`(3)/(4)`
